Popular star’s fee floors pol’s camp

MOMMY’S LITTLE DATE Jodi Sta. Maria, in a Hannah Kong gown, walked the red carpet with son Thirdy at the Star Magic Ball. RICHARD REYES

Now it can be told.

Popular Star was rar-ing to campaign for Major Aspirant. After all, PS is close to MA’s Devoted Relative. PS’ Business Associate, however, kept hearing ka-ching and asked for a hefty talent fee…. with seven zeros!

MA’s handlers were turned off big time. MA’s camp thought DR could convince BA to accept the endorsement deal gratis et amore.

No dice.

Dazed damsel

Handlers of Cute Celeb were dismayed with Perky Starlet.

PS was initially amiable and seemed levelheaded. Soon enough, PS’ psychotic tendencies emerged from the dark. PS was consistently inconsistent and, worse, threw CC under the bus when things got tough.

PS is just as flaky as Famous Relative.

CC’s pal gasps: Insanity runs in the blood.

Illusion

Cantankerous Celebrity is under the illusion that most colleagues would support Troubled Partner’s latest venture.

CC had been knocking on the doors of show biz denizens, in the hopes of boosting TP’s cache in the biz.

Alas, CC has encountered speed bumps along the way. CC thought they could rely on Influential Insider’s commitment.

But II also supports TP’s Fiercest Rival.

Healing time

The contentious election next year will somehow unite warring personalities in show biz.

Feisty Star will be rooting for the same team as Savvy Frenemy and Fiery Cohort.

No wonder FC tried to “kiss and make up” with FS recently. FC was unsuccessful because FS was unmoved at first.

Still, SF and FC are hoping against hope that time will heal all wounds in the end.

Parent’s appeal

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Pretty Starlet is despondent, weeping buckets. PS found out that she was in danger of losing plum role.

The Big Boss had seen the rushes and was not impressed with PS.

PS could get sacked. Making matters worse, PS was looking forward to working with Cute Heartthrob in the planned project. According to a mole, PS’ Pushy Parent met with BB and cohorts, in a last-ditch effort to save PS.
